ABOUT THIS ONDEMAND WEBINAR:

Want to write a commercial young adult (YA) novel to get the attention it deserves? Hoping to sign with an agent to sell your YA novel? Hoping to get contracted for your next YA project?

No matter what stage you are in publishing, literary agent, Katie Shea Boutillier is here to help you get your YA novel in shape for a sale. Editors want books that speak to them. Publishers are looking for teen projects with voices that jump off the page, characters that readers can immediately connect with, and storylines that grab your attention from page one and all the way to the end of the book. Dip into Katie's knowledge in how to create that teen voice that feels unique and fresh to the page.

Katie helps you get closer to your main character and to not be afraid to express the main character's opinions on the page. She also focuses on the development of the supporting cast of characters - how to make characters likable, others mysterious, some funny, and others interesting. Katie teaches you how to put tension on page 1 while weaving in the backstory, yet keeping the hook as the force of the pages turning. Katie also helps you understand how to set the tone - how to appropriate express your teen voice to reflect the main storyline. Depending on the premise, the tone the author expresses through the characters of the novel makes such a huge difference. Everything needs to be in sync.

Lastly, Katie touches on how all teen novels should have a reference to what is happening in the characters' world. If the story is set in modern times of today, make sure the storyline relates to issues important to teens. If it's a historical YA novel, make sure to touch on issues of that time period and if fantasy - create ones that seem relevant to that world. Create universal topics that all teens, depending on the setting, will be able to connect to.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

  • How to create a teen voice that is unique yet jumps off the page
  • Character development of the supporting cast of characters - how to make them likable, interesting, mysterious, etc.
  • How to create tension on page one and be able to weave in backstory with the main hook
  • How to balance the tone of the story with the premise
  • How to incorporate important universal issues that will relate to teens no matter what backdrop, setting or world

Soft and comfortable
Size: Queen - Pack of 2, Style: Medium, Configuration: Pillow
These pillows are incredibly soft and comfortable. They provide great support while still feeling plush and cozy. I’ve been sleeping much better since I started using them.

Amazing - Stop Scrolling and Buy This Pillow
Size: Queen (Pack of 1), Color: White
I have been an Amazon customer ever since the very beginning, and this is my first review. Not because I haven’t purchased tons of amazing things (and a few bad ones), just never felt the need. However, I researched pillows for longer than I care to admit, and decided on this one. I’ve had it for about six months and absolutely love it. No lie, I genuinely look forward lying my big head on it after a long day. I am a side sleeper, but flip flop all around through the night and it’s great in every position. Pros: Stays nice and cool, which is soothing regardless of the time of year. Has a sort of quilted textured pattern on the zip up cover, gives it a luxury feel, that breaths nicely even when a pillow case is added. The fill is fully adjustable to your preference. I knew it came with extra filling but was worried it would not be enough. Wrong. It was very full and I ended up taking some out until it was perfect. It comes vacuum sealed and suggests it may take some time to fully take shape. However, I found it to be about 90% almost instantly and was sleeping on it a couple hours later. There was no unpleasant scent sometimes associated with memory foam items. The foam itself is very nice, a mix of what appears to be shredded and cotton candy cloud like. Very brilliant idea, as it is somehow supportive, soft and firm all at once. The affordability of this pillow compared to some of the others in this category can’t be overstated. Oh, and the packaging was very thoughtfully and securely done. If you are like me, an over thinker, I would suggest just taking this for a spin. It’s amazing. I’m not a bot, or working for the company. I’m just truly satisfied, love this pillow, and have been sleeping great.

It's the perfect pillow!
Size: Queen (Pack of 1), Color: White
I purchased this pillow specifically for its customizable fill feature, which allows you to add or remove stuffing to suit your personal comfort needs. Due to the unique curvature of my cervical spine—forward at the neck rather than backward—I require a soft, semi-flat pillow rather than one that is thick or firm. Additionally, I often experience ear discomfort by morning, so a gentler surface is essential. Upon adjusting the fill, I was pleasantly surprised by the generous amount of stuffing included. There was enough to fill an additional pillowcase, and I estimate it could easily create four to five more pillows. The ability to modify the pillow’s firmness at any time is an outstanding feature that makes it adaptable for a wide range of preferences and sleep styles. This pillow has exceeded my expectations in both comfort and versatility. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a personalized sleep experience.

Good quality pillows overall
Size: King (Pack of 2), Color: White
Got a set of these for my wife and myself as we were struggling with our old pillows. These have some really good qualities and some things we'd like to see changed. First, the good: These are look and feel like they are high quality and made with good materials. The foam itself has a very nice feel to it. We love the fact they are adjustable to add or remove foam. They come with a pretty substantial amount already in the pillow. We appreciate the CertiPur certification. Now the improvements or changes we'd like to see: The foam, while feeling great, doesn't bounce back well if you scrunch your pillows, and so every day you have to fluff and reshape the pillow, moreso than some other memory foam pillows we've owned. One side of the pillow is cooled and you can feel that even through the pillow case, and that's a great thing. However, one side is not cooled and we'd have preferred if both sides were made of the cooling material. Overall, these are good pillows and we are not disappointed with the purchase. They are not, however, our perfect pillows (which do seem hard to find), and at some point in the future will probably make their way to the guest bedroom. We would rate them as some of the better pillows we've tried and feel most people would probably like them.

Perfect Pillow
Size: Queen (Pack of 1), Color: White
These are the best pillows ever. You can adjust the firmness or softness to whatever you want. For years i used a soft latex pillow , which you cant get anymore. I will never use another pillow. I have purchased 6 of these after the first one. You pick your own comfort level. Best ever. No more neck aches.
